Saddleback Fall 2014

Published

Just turned in my Fall 2014 application today! I thought I would start a new thread for the Fall 2014 applicants as a way of coping with this three month wait we are all in store for. I already have a countdown on my phone for May 30th, it can't come soon enough! What is everyones point range? Does anyone have any useful info on the program? Good luck to everyone!

Congrats on the GWC acceptance!

I've spent the past 3 years earning an AA at Saddleback. Fingers crossed for us both :)

The final is cumulative. Quite generalized, and she gives a good review/study guide.

my points are very low for Saddleback (60)

Pharm at Saddleback depends on the instructor. My class was straight forward. Quiz every week, based on the lecture slides, instructor pointed you towards the answers/test questions/need to know stuff. I spent about 8 hours a week studying.

The other instructor requires a lot more physiology knowledge, but to be honest I found learning the drugs that way to be easier than straight memorization which I don't do as well at. I need to know how something works/the effects it has to remember.
